Remember We Can't Change Washington Without Changing The People We Send There!

Thank you for your support over the past year. Talking with voters across the 6th Congressional District of New Jersey has continued to inspire me and has shown me that the desire to take back our government is real. Today, we have the rare opportunity to restore common-sense principles to Washington D.C. Together, we can:

-Repeal the Government take-over of Health Care.

-Stop the Reckless Deficit Spending of the Pelosi-Pallone agenda.

-Stop the Tax Hikes and Get New Jersey Back to Work. The choice is clear. Polls are open until 8 pm tonight.

Please Vote for me, Anna Little, today when you go to the voting booth. I would be deeply honored to have your vote.

After you've voted, I hope you will consider helping getting others out to vote. If you can make calls, pass out literature or go door to door please call our headquarters at 732-658-5461.

If you need a ride to the polls or have any other questions please call 732-658-5461

Remember we can't change Washington without changing the people we send there!

Thank You!

LITTLE CAMP: THE FINAL ARGUMENT

(HIGHLANDS, November 1) - Republican Congressional challenger Anna Little's campaign wrapped up its final full day on the campaign trail today with its Final Argument.

If you believe that:
* Your taxes are too low
* Washington doesn't spend enough of your money already
* Washington bureaucrats should be involved in your personal health care decisions
* Borrowing trillions of dollars and handing the bill to your grandchildren is fair
* Our nation is heading in the right direction
Then your vote is clear - 22-year incumbent Frank Pallone is your man.

But if you believe that:
* Your taxes are too high
* Washington already spends too much of your money
* Washington bureaucrats have no business between you and your Doctor
* Borrowing trillions of dollars and handing the bill to your grandchildren is immoral
* Our nation is heading in the wrong direction
Then your vote is just as clear - Anna Little needs your vote!

(HIGHLANDS, November 1) - Republican Congressional challenger Anna Little's campaign - not wanting to disappoint its many supporters and volunteers who this morning reminded the campaign's high command that a tremendous 20-minute full-length interview with Anna Little has been sitting on the web site of Millennium Radio for the last several weeks - this morning uses this press release to send around the web link to that interview.

LITTLE: SENIORS WILL HAVE NO BETTER FRIEND THAN I

LITTLE: SENIORS WILL HAVE NO BETTER FRIEND THAN I

(HIGHLANDS, October 29) - Republican Congressional challenger Anna Little focused her campaign's message on the large population of seniors residing in New Jersey's 6th Congressional District - seniors who have been disproportionately hurt by the votes cast by Frank Pallone during his 22 years in the Congress.

"All over our district, I meet seniors who are worried for the future - theirs, and their children's and grandchildren's," said Little. "They see a government taking over more and more of their decisions. They see a political class that seems no longer to care about them, despite the sacrifices they've made to allow younger generations to enjoy a lifestyle they couldn't. And they fear a government that doesn't seem to know how best to get our economy back on track.

"New Jersey seniors should know this - they'll have no better friend than I, when I go to Congress in January," continued Little.

"It was Frank Pallone, not I, who cast a vote to cut $500 billion from Medicare.

"It was Frank Pallone, not I, who cast a series of votes over the last 22 years to raise the national debt from $2.6 trillion to $13.6 trillion, and pass on a debt of more than $30,000 to every man, woman and child in this country - including our grandchildren.

"It was Frank Pallone, not I, who cast votes to put government bureaucrats between doctors and their patients - including their senior patients, who may now find themselves forced off their current health care coverage and into some new plan that doesn't provide the benefits to which they've grown accustomed.

"And it was Frank Pallone, not I, who cast vote after vote for higher taxes and more government spending - higher taxes and more spending that saps our economy, drives up the cost of living, makes New Jersey one of the least affordable states in the country, and forces many of them to become 'plane ticket grandparents' - the kind of grandparents who need to use a plane ticket to see their grandchildren, because they've been forced to move out of state for their retirements, and only see their grandchildren at the holidays, when they get on a plane to come back to New Jersey.

"On all these fronts and more, our current Congressman has failed to lead for seniors," said Little. "He has raised their taxes, borrowed their money, and put their children and grandchildren in debt. It's time we stopped that, and moved in a new direction - a direction that gives New Jersey's seniors more freedom of action, leaves more money in their pockets, and secures their ability to see the doctor of their choice.

"In four days, New Jersey will vote, and we'll have a chance to send a fresh face to Washington," said Little.

"If you think we're headed in the right direction, then Frank Pallone is your man," said Little. "But if you think we're moving in the wrong direction, if you think you're ready for a change, then I need your vote - because you cannot change Washington without changing the people we send to Washington!"

Little: Why Is Frank Pallone's Web Site Silent On Obama (Pallone) Care?

Little: Why Is Frank Pallone's Web Site Silent On Obama (Pallone) Care?

(HIGHLANDS, October 28) - Republican Congressional challenger Anna Little today maintained her campaign's focus on Frank Pallone's recent silence on his role in the passage of the government takeover of health care, frequently referred to in New Jersey's 6th Congressional District as "PalloneCare."

"Back in the spring, when he thought it was going to be popular, my opponent infamously said of the government takeover of health care, 'This is not Obama's bill. This isn't Nancy Pelosi's bill. This is MY bill,'" said Little. "But now that the public has learned more about what's in it, and it's not nearly as popular as he thought it was going to be, he's gone radio silent - why, his campaign web site's 'On the Issues' section doesn't even MENTION health care!"

"Sadly, this is not surprising," said Little. "All we've heard from Frank Pallone is distortions of my views, rather than an explanation for the votes he cast for a failed trillion-dollar stimulus package, a failed cap and trade policy that would raise everyone's electricity bills, and the government takeover of health care.

"Of course, it's perfectly understandable - if I had cast a vote to cut Medicare by $500 billion, reduce patient choice, put government bureaucrats between doctors and their patients, and raise taxes, I probably wouldn't want to draw attention to it, either.

"But that's the big difference between Frank Pallone and me - I would never have cast that vote in the first place!

"In five days, New Jersey will vote, and we'll have a chance to send a fresh face to Washington," said Little.

"If you think we're headed in the right direction, then Frank Pallone is your man," said Little. "But if you think we're moving in the wrong direction, if you think you're ready for a change, then I need your vote - because you cannot change Washington without changing the people we send to Washington!"

LITTLE TO PALLONE: WHERE ARE THE JOBS?!

(HIGHLANDS, October 22) - Republican Congressional challenger Anna Little - responding to the release of New Jersey's unemployment figures for the month of September, showing that the state lost another 20,200 jobs, and the unemployment rate dipped two-tenths of a percent because so many working-age residents gave up on finding work and decided to leave the labor force - today asked her opponent, 22-year incumbent Frank Pallone, a simple question: "Where are the jobs?

"Mr. Pallone, today I have just one simple question for you," said Little. "Where are the jobs?!

"Today's unemployment figures continue the disturbing trend we've seen over the last 20 months - New Jersey continues to lose jobs," said Little. "In the month of September, New Jersey lost ANOTHER 20,200 jobs.

"That's the worst jobs report in 18 months," continued Little. "Not since March of 2009 has a New Jersey jobs report been this bad.

"Since the official end of the recession in June 2009 - well more than a year ago - New Jersey has LOST 62,400 jobs. It's a sad state of affairs when the government deems a recession officially 'over,' but we continue to lose jobs.

"Worse, the unemployment rate in September declined from 9.6 percent to 9.4 percent - not because more people found work, but because more working-age residents have been out of work so long that they GAVE UP on finding work, and removed themselves from the job market," continued Little.

"That's a sad, sad commentary on the failure of the Pelosi-Pallone strategy. And it's not what Frank Pallone and Nancy Pelosi promised when they rammed through their massive trillion-dollar 'stimulus' package - they promised, if you'll recall, that unemployment wouldn't go higher than 8 percent.

"The best thing the government can do is to lower tax rates and reduce regulation, and create an environment in which the entrepreneurs and job-creators in our nation will put their capital to work for all of us," continued Little. "Instead, for the last 20 months we've gone in exactly the opposite direction. Nancy Pelosi and Frank Pallone have made clear their determination to raise taxes on the job-creating class, and have made clear their determination to keep borrowing money to pay for more failed 'stimulus' programs.

"It's time for a change in direction.

"Remember, you cannot change Washington without changing the people we send to Washington!"

LITTLE CAMP TRANSLATES ASBURY PARK PRESS ENDORSEMENT

HIGHLANDS, October 21) - The campaign of Republican Congressional challenger Anna Little - responding to the decision by the editorial board of the Asbury Park Press to endorse 22-year incumbent Frank Pallone - today released a translation of selected excerpts of the endorsement editorial.

APP: "Veteran Rep. Frank Pallone Jr. has been a tireless advocate for issues important to the people he has represented in his 6th Congressional District for the past two decades."

Translation: Frank Pallone is a 22-year incumbent. The year he was elected, the national debt was $2.6 trillion. Today, it stands at $13.7 trillion. Frank Pallone has been tireless, all right - tirelessly voting for more spending and more debt!

APP: "As chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Health Subcommittee, he helped craft the health care reform package."

Translation: As Pallone himself says, "This isn't Obama's bill. This isn't Nancy Pelosi's bill. This is MY bill." If you're not happy with the government takeover of healthcare, you don't have to look too far to find its author - he's our incumbent, Frank Pallone! Blame it on him!

APP: "If re-elected, Pallone says he will concentrate on food and drug safety ..."

Translation: If re-elected, Pallone will likely continue activities that lead us to wonder if he regularly swaps official influence for campaign cash, or if it was just a one-time thing? See this New York Times story from last week:
http://www.nytimes.com/2009/09/25/health/policy/25knee.html

APP: "Republican opponent Anna Little, a former Monmouth County freeholder and current mayor of Highlands, won the GOP primary as a Tea Party candidate."

Translation: As chardonnay-sipping, Brie-munching liberal elitists, we have no idea what is going on with this whole "Tea Party" thing. And because we've never had a Tea Party member to one of our cocktail parties, that concerns us.

APP: "Faced with the choice between Pallone and Little, voters in the district, which includes all or parts of 28 municipalities in Monmouth County, 10 in Middlesex County and one each in Somerset and Union counties, should opt for the thoughtful, considered positions of Pallone instead of the often strident protestations of Little."

Translation: We'd rather have an arrogant, out-of-touch, milquetoast liberal elitist representing us than send a fighter to Washington.

What is more interesting than the standard liberal-editorial-board-endorses-liberal-incumbent-for-reelection, dog-bites-man story is the Readers' Comments appended to the editorial endorsement. We commend to your reading the 78 comments that were posted within the first 24 hours of the endorsement publication, available here:

LITTLE ENDORSES ACTION ON PEDIATRIC BRAIN INJURY

LITTLE ENDORSES ACTION ON PEDIATRIC BRAIN INJURY
Sarah Jane and Friends Endorse Anna Little


(HIGHLANDS, September 30) - Republican congressional challenger Anna Little -- endorsing legislation recognizing Pediatric Acquired Brain Injury as the leading cause of death and disability for children and young adults, and endorsing the National Acquired Brain Injury Plan, which her opponent, 22-year incumbent Democrat Frank Pallone, has been blocking from an up-or-down vote in the Congress - today challenged Pallone to move the legislation out of his Energy and Commerce Committee Health Subcommittee.

At a press conference at Anna Little for Congress headquarters, Sarah Jane Donohue - the five-year-old namesake of The Sarah Jane Brain Foundation - announced her enthusiastic support for Anna Little for Congress. Several of Sarah Jane's friends, also stricken with brain injuries, also announced their support for Little.

"Frank Pallone is wrong to hold up the most broad-based, bipartisan healthcare initiative of this entire Congress," said Little. "As Chairman of the Health Subcommittee of the Energy and Commerce Committee, he has the power to move this legislation. More than a hundred Members of Congress of both parties have already co-sponsored this legislation, and yet it's been sitting in his subcommittee for a year."

"He has the audacity to speak about healthcare reform, when he is personally blocking a national political consensus dealing with the number one leading cause of death and disability for our children and young adults - brain injury. I support H. Con. Res. 198, and as a Member of Congress next year, I look forward to working with families and professionals who deal with pediatric acquired brain injury to better prevent, identify and treat this disease."

"The Brain Injury Association of New Jersey enthusiastically supports H. Con. Res. 198," says Barbara Geiger-Parker, President and CEO of the Brain Injury Association of New Jersey. "We hope Congress passes this measure as soon as possible." The Brain Injury Association of New Jersey is the Sarah Jane Brain Project's State Lead Center of Excellence for New Jersey, and it was involved in the development of the National Pediatric Acquired Brain Injury Plan (PABI Plan).

Patrick Donohue, father of Sarah Jane Donohue - a five-year-old victim of traumatic brain injury suffered when she was violently shaken by her nurse when she was just a baby - said, "It is pretty clear Congressman Frank Pallone either doesn't care about kids with brain injuries, or he is so arrogant he thinks he knows better than the leading experts in the country. That's why I support Anna Little and I encourage all of my friends and family to do the same."

Jennipher Dickens - mother of four-year-old Christopher Daughtrey, who, like Sarah Jane Donohue, is a victim of traumatic brain injury suffered as a result of abuse - joined Donohue in endorsing Little over Pallone. "Frank Pallone has had a year to move this important legislation, and he's failed to do so. That's just wrong."

Craig Stevens - a survivor of a brain injury caused by a motor vehicle crash when he was but 20 years old - also endorsed Little. "Frank Pallone should be ashamed of himself! As a survivor of a brain injury myself, I wish there had been a National Pediatric Acquired Brain Injury Plan in place when my injury occurred. If there had been such a plan in place, my life and my family's lives would be completely different today. We need people like Anna Little who actually listen and act as opposed to merely acting like they are listening. That's why I support Anna Little!"

"It is time to hold our politicians accountable and that is what we are doing today," said Kim Illions, mother of four-year-old Cole Illions, who suffers from pediatric hydrocephalus. "On behalf of my son, Cole, and on behalf of the many families in the sixth congressional district of New Jersey who have a child with a brain injury, we support Anna Little!" Kim Illions is the president of the Pediatric Hydrocephalus Foundation. Their family resides in Iselin, New Jersey.

LITTLE: MY DETERMINATION TO REPEAL OBAMACARE ISN'T LITTLE AT ALL

(HIGHLANDS, October 19) - Republican Congressional challenger Anna Little - responding to news reports indicating that Boeing has joined a growing list of major American corporations that have decided to curtail their employees' health benefits in the wake of the government takeover of healthcare - today reiterated her determination to repeal Obamacare when she gets to Congress in January.

"We said from the beginning," said Little, "that if this monstrosity passed, companies would be forced to make a hard choice between dropping coverage for their employees or raising their employees' contributions to their benefits. Yesterday, Boeing announced that it is joining the long and growing list of companies that is already beginning to curtail benefits for its employees - in this case, for their 90,000 non-union employees.

"The government takeover of healthcare - 'Pallonecare,' in honor of his declaration that 'This is not Obama's bill. This isn't Nancy Pelosi's bill. It's MY bill' - was wrong on several fronts. It is bad medicine, and it is bad for business. And I cannot for the life of me understand why our Representative would think it was a good thing to raise the cost of doing business at a time when we're trying to dig our way out of a jobless recovery.

"Washington just doesn't get it," continued Little. "Rather than take the right kind of actions - like voting to extend ALL the current tax rates for EVERY federal taxpayer, so that the entrepreneurs and job-creators in our economy know what will be the tax rates they face next year, and can make investment decisions accordingly - our leaders focus on growing the size of government and the reach of government, pushing it into areas it has no business being.

"Repealing Pallonecare will be the first step to restoring our nation's economic growth," said Little. "And the second step will be to extend the current tax rates for ALL of America's taxpayers, so that NO ONE faces a tax hike in the middle of a jobless recovery.

"Remember, you cannot change Washington without changing the people we send to Washington!"

LITTLE TO PALLONE: WHAT OTHER DECISIONS DID YOU TRY TO INFLUENCE BECAUSE SOMEBODY GAVE YOU CAMPAIGN CASH?

(HIGHLANDS, October 15) - Republican Congressional challenger Anna Little - continuing to highlight a report in The New York Times indicating that her opponent, 22-year incumbent Frank Pallone, worked to overturn a decision by the Food and Drug Administration after receiving campaign contributions from a medical device manufacturer whose device had been unanimously rejected on multiple occasions by FDA scientific reviewers - today called on Pallone to explain the exact nature of the transaction.

“Yesterday, The New York Times published a disturbing report about our Congressman, Frank Pallone, using his influence to get the FDA to approve a medical device after receiving campaign contributions from the device manufacturer,” said Little. “So yesterday, we challenged Rep. Pallone to tell us what OTHER federal government agencies he’s influenced on behalf of campaign contributors.

“Today, we’d like to go back to the original transaction, and get some more detail from Mr. Pallone,” said Little.

“Specifically, we’d like answers to the following questions:

“When you accepted your first contribution from an executive of the device manufacturer in December 2007, did you know then that he was hoping you would look favorably upon his request for help with the FDA? Put another way, was the campaign contribution — $2300, the maximum then allowed by law - the first you had heard of the device manufacturer and its problem with the FDA?

“If not - that is, if you knew of the device manufacturer’s problems with the FDA BEFORE you accepted the contribution - did you or anyone on your congressional or campaign staff (including fundraising consultants) indicate to the executive that his request would be far more likely to be given favorable consideration if it were accompanied by a contribution?

“If yes - that is, if you did NOT know of the device manufacturer’s problems with the FDA at the time you accepted the contribution - at what point, exactly, DID you become aware of the problems with the FDA? And at that point, did the fact that you had already accepted a contribution from an executive of the company raise any questions at all in your mind as to the propriety of offering assistance to a campaign contributor?

“The timing of the two contributions - the first, in December 2007, the second, in October 2008 - certainly seems interesting, given that the heavy lifting of the influence exerted by your office appears to have begun in December 2007. Would it be reasonable to draw the conclusion that the December 2007 contribution was an enticement to action, and the October 2008 contribution a ‘thank you’ for a job well done? If not, why not?

“We have many more questions for Mr. Pallone on this matter,” said Little. “But we don’t want to overtax him the way he overtaxes us. So we’ll just leave it here for now.

“Remember, you cannot change Washington without changing the people we send to Washington!”

LITTLE: DOES PALLONE NOT KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A TAX 'CUT' AND A TAX 'HIKE?'
OR IS HE DELIBERATELY TELLING UNTRUTHS?

(HIGHLANDS, October 14) - Republican Congressional challenger Anna Little - responding to publication of an analysis by Americans for Tax Reform of the 111th Congress' record on tax cuts v. tax hikes - today asked if her opponent, 22-year incumbent Frank Pallone, understands the difference between a tax "cut" and a tax "increase."

"Its clear that Frank Pallone's been in Washington too darn long," said Little. "Apparently, he's been there so long, voting for so many tax increases and so much more spending, that he's now begun to confuse tax 'cuts' with tax 'increases.'

"On NJN's 'On the Record' broadcast over the weekend, he said the current Congress has enacted more tax cuts than any other Congress.

"Here's his exact quote: 'I mean, there's been more tax cuts and efforts to try to, uh, uh, help businesses through tax credits or tax cuts in this Congress than in any other Congress.'

"But Americans for Tax Reform - the nation's leading tax reform group - just yesterday published an analysis that essentially says Frank Pallone doesn't know what he's talking about. According to the ATR analysis, the 111th Congress enacted tax cuts totaling $373.6 billion, of which just $107.6 billion is permanent tax relief.

"Meanwhile, that same Congress enacted tax INCREASES totaling $725.7 billion, of which every single penny is permanent.

"That's a net tax HIKE of $352 billion enacted by the current Congress. So Frank Pallone's insistence that this Congress has passed more tax cuts than any other Congress leads me to ask a simple question - does Frank Pallone not understand the difference between a tax 'cut' and a tax 'increase,' or he is just willfully telling an untruth?

"Remember, you cannot change Washington without changing the people we send to Washington!"

LITTLE: I GET IT. DOES PALLONE?

(HIGHLANDS, October 13) - Republican Congressional challenger Anna Little - an independent wife and mother who, unlike her 22-year incumbent opponent, Frank Pallone, has never voted for, and will never vote for, Nancy Pelosi to be Speaker of the House of Representatives - today reiterated that she "gets it," and asked if her opponent even understands the term.

"People greet me all the time when we're out knocking on doors," said Little, "and household after household, I hear the same thing - 'Anna, you get it.'

"When working families in the Sixth District tell me they're having a hard time making ends meet, I get it.

"When they tell me they're upset that the politicians in Washington don't seem to care about what their constituents back home think, I get it.

"When they share with me the difficulties of trying to make the mortgage payment, save for the kids' braces and maybe put away a little something for college or even a weekend getaway down the Shore, I get it.

"When mothers tell me of their concerns over the government takeover of healthcare, and their fear that they'll no longer be able to see the doctor of their choice, whether for themselves or their children, I get it.

"When seniors tell me of their anger that the bill Frank Pallone voted for cuts Medicare by $500 billion, I get it.

"When I'm told that taxes are too high, and government spends too much, and we're drowning in a river of red ink thanks to politicians like Frank Pallone, I get it.

"That's why 200 people came out to walk with us in the Columbus Day Parade in Long Branch on Sunday," continued Little. "But 200 people didn't come out to walk with Frank Pallone. Fewer than a dozen did.

"I guess that's because Frank just doesn't get it. Does he even understand the term?

"Remember, you cannot change Washington without changing the people we send to Washington!"

Anna's Army will arrive en masse to greet the Governor, complete with "Anna's Armada", motorcycles and hundreds of cars, after spending the day in a grand caravan throughout the Middlesex, Union and Somerset parts of the District.

Governor Christie has been heard as saying that he is "so tired of Frank Pallone". Displaying that knack for saying what everyone else is thinking, the Governor and Anna will rally the troops just 16 days away from what promises to be the most exciting 6th District Congressional race in memory.

Members of the press are encouraged to arrive early as the sheer number of volunteers attending the rally promises to be in the hundreds. The American Legion is located at 840 S. Washington Ave, Piscataway, New Jersey.

LITTLE: IS PALLONE LIVING ON THE PLANET OF OPPOSITES?

LITTLE: IS PALLONE LIVING ON THE PLANET OF OPPOSITES?

(HIGHLANDS, October 12) - Republican Congressional challenger Anna Little - responding to a statement by her opponent, 22-year incumbent Frank Pallone, on NJN's "On the Record" that "there have been more tax cuts ... in this Congress than in any other Congress" - today asked Pallone if he is living on The Planet of Opposites, where night is day, down is up, Barack Obama is Ronald Reagan, and a tax hike is a tax cut.

"Is Frank Pallone living on the Planet Earth, or on The Planet of Opposites?

"On NJN's 'On the Record' broadcast over the weekend, Frank Pallone said the 111th Congress has passed 'more tax cuts ... than in any other Congress' - a statement which, I'm sure, had all the taxpayers running to their mailboxes to see where was their missing tax cut, the one they never received," said Little.

"Seriously, here's his exact quote: 'I mean, there's been more tax cuts and efforts to try to, uh, uh, help businesses through tax credits or tax cuts in this Congress than in any other Congress.'

"'More tax cuts ... than in any other Congress?'

"Can he be serious? Does he believe we have forgotten the vote he cast a week and a half ago, to adjourn the Congress and flee Washington before casting a vote that could help prevent the biggest tax HIKE in American history? He cast the DECIDING VOTE on that one, and in doing so, failed to block a massive tax hike scheduled to kick in on New Year's Day.

"Or could it be that he thinks we have forgotten the 20 new or higher taxes in the healthcare bill he still proudly insists is 'Not Obama's bill ... not Pelosi's bill. It's MY bill?' Higher taxes on working families that will total over $500 billion - to go with the $500 billion in Medicare cuts he voted for?

"Only on The Planet of Opposites does what Frank Pallone said about this Congress and tax cuts make sense. Unfortunately for him, his constituents still have their feet planted firmly right here on Planet Earth, and in 22 days they're going to be sending him into retirement - whether here on Earth, or there on The Planet of Opposites, will be his choice," continued Little.

"Remember, you cannot change Washington without changing the people we send to Washington!"
